Roy, before we get started, let's do a video pitch for our very busy readers who don't have time to read. Can you introduce Lami in less than a minute?
What led to the creation of Lami?
A conversation with a waitress in a cafe in Nairobi. Where it became very apparent that there was demand and real need for insurance but the person didn't know about it and didn't have easy access to it. But there were many more people in the same position, all young and using apps and digital platforms.
Could you present Lami’s offer?
We offer easy and seamless insurance products for customers, SMEs and partners to distribute through our digital insurance platform
What's coming next for Lami?
Growing our presence in West Africa and Egypt and also improving our platform to provide insurance as a service to insurance companies and brokers.
